I'll pop over and have a look one day soon. Always loved Jags. I've owned a Mk11 3.4 Saloon, a Mk.11 3.8 Saloon and a Series1 E-Type FHC in Carmen Red with chrome wire wheels. GUB 580D where are you now? I loved you!

I was chatting to a chap recently, about the E-type, and he suggested that I wished I'd still got it. I told him that I'd sold it 32 years ago,to fund the deposit on my home, currently worth much, much more than it's worth then. The Jag would now be worth a little more than I sold it for.

Whilst I loved it, I have no regrets concerning it's sale.

Enjoyed it's performance, though!

Lloyd, thank you very much for your input. It's good to know that the remedial work I carried out on GUB helped, in part, to secure it's place in local history.

I have never owned a Jag and its highly unlikely I ever will but there are several things that have always stood out about these vehicles. Apart from their performance thay all had stunning looks, superb engines and lovely traditional interiors.

If I came into some spare cash I would love an E-type, I noticed one a few days ago on the A449 near Wombourne whilst driving home. In fact I would be quite happy with one of the later Mk2s or, for that matter, one of the "S" types.

They also seemed to provide good value for money, expecially when you compare their performance with foreign cars than cost much more, and just look at there racing pedigree.
